How to help your business keep up with a changing world

The CIPD Annual Conference and Exhibition is coming to Manchester Central this November

The last few years have heralded a significant change to the way we work, which also provides opportunities to be bolder and more agile – particularly within HR, the people’s profession.

Business strategies have been reshaped, new working practices introduced and employee wellbeing is at the front and centre – but there is always more to learn and the CIPD Annual Conference and Exhibition is just the place to do that.

Over a two-day period, attendees can learn, challenge and debate with leading thinkers and get insights into the key challenges facing the sector either at the free exhibition or the ticketed conference.

Thousands of professionals from all over the world come along to the annual event, now in its 75th year. This year the focus is on helping businesses build the skills and capabilities needed to thrive in today’s ever changing world.

The CIPD Annual Conference and Exhibition is a well-established and leading annual event that serves the HR profession and is coming to Manchester from November 9 to 10.

What can we expect to see?

By blending inspiring speakers with industry-leading suppliers and immersive networking spaces, this year’s CIPD Annual Conference and Exhibition is an opportunity to meet peers, as well as tackle the big questions facing the profession – from how to champion good work to attain and retain the right people for your organisation, to reimagining leadership and management.

Giving visitors the confidence to shape the future of all employees and their organisations, the event is a step away from the day-to-day to focus on professional development.

Free exhibition

The free to attend exhibition features a host of dynamic and interactive activities and discussions to get involved with across the two days, including insight stages with more than 40 sessions of free advice and guidance around HR training, skills and capabilities and improving employee experience.
